| Donna De La Cruz Associated Press Writer A man who told police his 6-year-old daughter and ex-wife were missing in the World Trade Center attacks was charged with filing a false report after his relatives said he was lying. Alan Braker, 41, was arrested Thursday at his East Orange, N.J., home and could face additional charges, said Lt. Elias Nikas, a police spokesman. Braker's story was widely reported, but days later his relatives - including his mother, two of his sisters and his estranged wife - told reporters his story was false. His motives were not immediately known, Nikas said. |
